Why We Do It

Meaningful Purpose

We truly make a difference in the lives of others. Diligently and compassionately, we work to improve the quality of life for individuals who, in turn, inspire us to be better people. This gives us purpose – more so than any other job we’ve had.

Lasting Bonds

Our relationships are deep and lasting. We go through a lot together. Coworkers and the people we serve feel like a second family. We lean on each other to get through the ups and downs of the day, and the people we serve are our reasons for being here.

Tireless Commitment

This is not a place for just anyone. The work is tough: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Each hour of every day is different. What doesn’t change is the continuous respect and support we give the people we serve and work alongside every day.

Personal Growth

Bancroft provides us with the resources to reach our full potential. From on-the-job experience and training to university courses and professional growth opportunities, Bancroft empowers us to build skills that enrich our lives.

At Bancroft, you’ll find a career where you’re improving the lives of the people we serve, and you’ll see how they’re impacting your life, too.
